Benefits of technology

The patent text describes an electronic device that allows users to capture images in a virtual world without needing an external camera. This is done by displaying a virtual icon on the device's screen and recognizing the user's position in the virtual space through touch input. The device then generates a capture image based on the user's touch level. The technical effect of this invention is the ability to capture various views and emotions in a virtual world without additional equipment.

Problems solved by technology

However, when merely capturing an image viewed by a user in a virtual world into a 2D or 3D image, there are limitations in expressing various views and emotions experienced by the user.
